I'd like to think I could be as strong as this woman, but I honestly don't know if I could be... I don't know if a person should have to be.
I hope the procedure can manage to give her some small semblance of peace.

As someone who sincerely has every intention of "being strong", my current behavior is indistinguishable from the times I was pretending to be strong due to the huge cost of behaving otherwise.
